Lovely little getaway
The perfect base to explore the area. Loved cycling between the cottage and Waihi and back as well as to Paeroa return. Stunning walking tracks just across the road and so many scenic and historic sites to explore. Hot tub was a wonderful bonus for easing our tired muscles at the end of each day. Thanks for a lovely stay.
